Enabling Indian manufacturing MSMEs for global competitivenessIET India
The COVID-19 pandemic has been a watershed moment for businesses globally. While the scenario looks gloomy all around, there are significant local and global factors that may prove to be favourable for FDI in manufacturing, especially in the Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (MSME) sector in India.
Post the lethal impact of COVID-19, more and more manufacturing companies are looking towards India as an investment destination and as a reliable alternative to other low-cost producer countries. This will benefit the growth of established firms/sectors, providing significant new prospects for Indian MSMEs to step up and move to the next level. However, it is important to be cognisant of the fact that in order to successfully grab these opportunities, there needs to be a serious rethink of existing business models.
This paper focuses on the opportunities available, scope for improvement, and solutions to varied challenges for the MSME sector in India.
Globalization of Indian business - International Business - Manu Melwin Joymanumelwin
One of the major forces of globalization in India has been in the growth of outsourced IT and business process outsourcing (BPO) services. The last few years have seen an increase in the number of skilled professionals in India employed by both local and foreign companies to service customers in the US and Europe in particular. Taking advantage of India’s lower cost but educated and English-speaking work force, and utilizing global communications technologies such as voice-over IP (VOIP), email and the internet, international enterprises have been able to lower their cost base by establishing outsourced knowledge-worker operations in India.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.
